![]() In the spirit of not asking questions you already know the answer to I won't ask if you liked the ending, what I want to know is: Why do you think Gainax did it (the absolute madmen)?Īnd in a more general sense, if we subscribe to the idea that a creator should strive to make the audience feel something, do you think there is any merit in intentionally making your audience feel dissatisfied (whether you think that's what happened here or not)?įor some reason, despite not being impressed by the first half and having such a negative reaction to the ending, I somehow really enjoyed Abenobashi and think I'll remember it fondly. ![]() ![]() It's a happily-ever-after that will make no viewer happy, it's sort of impressive. I've seen the ending described as a cop-out by others but I don't think that's quite right, the other ending was an easier option. It's such a slap to the face that I won't believe it wasn't their intention. Gainax said 'Fuck that' and in the last 90 seconds threw out a completely unashamed asspull to give Sasshi exactly what he wanted and the audience exactly what we didn't. The only negative is that it is more or less the same as FLCL's ending, perhaps that explains what happened next. Sasshi will finally accept that life doesn't go the way you want it to sometimes and there's nothing you can do about it, he'll acknowledge that he is just a kid and that that's fine (growing up a little as a result), and he and Arumi will part ways with a "'til we meet again". I imagine everyone who watches Abenobashi anticipates the same ending, because it really telegraphs it. So of course in the very next episode that all changed and it became a much more interesting anime about escapism and the frustration of being helpless in the face of reality.for the last 6.9 episodes. When I was six episodes into the show I made a post in the 'Not A Currently Airing Show' thread on Sunday saying that I was pretty down on it because it seemed like there wasn't much to it beyond the gags. Now I know this show is 13 years old and everybody that has seen it has probably already had this discussion more than once, but it's an anime that demands to be talked about.
